About

I’m a freelance video editor and director, originally from Auckland and now based in Melbourne. Over the last decade I’ve cut everything from TVCs and social campaigns to music videos, documentaries and short films.

Most recently I spent three and a half years at Cuttable, working alongside engineers to build the creative systems behind an AI ad platform. I enjoy a challenge and I’m equally at home running post-productions solo or building creative tools inside a product team.
